1992 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"Still runs and looks great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Red needle on the speedometer, which is lit up day and night. Had to the replace entire gauge cluster at a Lexus dealer for a high price of about $600 US. Ouch!
General comments?
Only have had the car for two days and I can easily tell that this is by far the best and highest quality car that I have ever owned. It is probably getting close to needing a new engine, due to the high mileage, but I will do it when necessary and the car will last for twenty years, I believe.
